Floribunda Rose 'Easy Going': Harkness's Carefree Yellow

Introduced in 1996 by the British breeding house Harkness, 'Easy Going' (PP10478, also known as HARflow, Don Quichotte, Zonta Rose 98) lives up to its cheerful name. This floribunda brings sunshine to the garden with clusters of soft yellow blooms that fade gracefully to cream, all on a plant that asks for little and gives much.

Botanical Profile

The cupped, semi-double flowers open in generous sprays, their petals transitioning from buttery yellow at the center to pale cream at the edges—a two-tone effect that adds depth to mass plantings. The bush is compact and well-branched, reaching about 3 feet, with excellent disease resistance, particularly to black spot. Harkness bred this rose for the European market's demand for low-maintenance garden plants, and 'Easy Going' delivers exactly that: reliable bloom, clean foliage, and a sunny disposition that lifts any border.
